Panthers' Jagr passes Messier for second on NHL points list

The Florida Panthers' future Hall of Famer passed Mark Messier for sole possession of number two on the all-time career points list after assisting on Aleksander Barkov's third-period goal against the Boston Bruins.

But, though Jagr admits Gretzky's point record is "unbreakable", there is no telling how much longer he may give chase.

"I love the game. I'm willing to do anything to play as long as I can," he said after the 3-1 Bruins win.

Upon passing Messier, Jagr, who spent 11 of his 23 NHL seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, was given a curtain call and the game was halted to present him with a golden stick to commemorate the occasion.
